Commonplace co-op.
What's your favorite kind of co-op shooter? The ultra-competitive, team-based thrills of a Battlefield Domination match? The wave-based panic of Gears of War 's Horde mode? Or maybe you're partial to the strategic gore-fest that is a game of Left 4 Dead ?
Pros:
- Defending capture points is fun when working together as a team
- Technically impressive visuals
Cons:
- Core banking mechanic becomes repetitive
- Bosses are dull and a wasted opportunity
- Blends many ideas together but excels at few of them
- Character classes and power-ups lack punch

Killzone Shadow Fall: Intercept review
Horde mode: the enduring last gasp of the ailing shooter. It gives the multiplayer team the chance to leverage the AI of a campaign into its own mode. No need to worry about weapon balance or spawn camping or any of that other nightmarish stuff that separates the CODs from the dead fish in the...

Killzone: Shadow Fall (PS4) Review
Let's get something out of the way real quick: I'm awful at FPS games. I mean, just terrible. I grew up in an era when a "shooter" meant you held the Nintendo Zapper in your hand, or pumped quarters into a machine that let you use the revolver on coin-op Hogan's Alley.

Killzone: Shadow Fall
The long wait is over and we get our very first taste of next-generation gaming, with Sony's PS4 flagship title, Killzone: Shadow Fall. Having seen the game in action both during the E3 and at Gamescom, we were more than eager to finally go through the entire package.
Pros:
- It's jaw-dropping gorgeous
- has a really unique and fun implementation of the touchpad
- and
- like its predecessors
- has a great multiplayer experience that includes customizable matches
Cons:
- Forced script
- unintuitive objectives
- padded length in the final missions thanks to way too many busy-work tasks
- and an ungodly frustrating final boss

Killzone: Shadow Fall takes place 30 years after the catastrophic events that took place at the end of Killzone 3 that nearly wiped out the Helghast race and left Planet Helghan in shambles.

- ...and their weapons
- Great futuristic
- action movie-like music

- Utilizes the DualShock 4 more than any other PS4 game
Cons:
- Confusing
- unclear objectives
- Forgettable characters
- Platforming and anti-gravity gameplay are a chore
- Too many frustrating moments

- Breathtaking graphics and art direction
- Well-realized setting and universe
Cons:
- Vague level design with poor signposting
- Lonely single-player missions
- Flight and freefall sections

Killzone: Shadow Fall review
Killzone: Shadow Fall uses the PS4's hardware to offer a very pretty game, but strip that away and it's just like many others before it: a serviceable shooter with an underdeveloped storyline and spotty AI. That doesn't make it bad, just a little boring.
Pros:
- Beautiful Worlds
- Intriguing setting
- Multiplayer customization
Cons:
- Beyond the graphics
- nothing you haven't seen before
- The story is barebones
- Generally forgettable

While it may not be worth buying a whole new console for on its own, Killzone: Shadow Fall is a solid addition to the franchise. It doesn't move the series forward in any remarkable ways, but the foundation stands strong, and hopefully represents a positive glimpse at Killzone 's future.

Killzone: Shadow Fall (PS4) Review – A Solid First Outing for the Successful Franchise on the PS4
Killzone has been a franchise thats had its ups and downs. While not every title in the series has been an outstanding critical success it's at least fair to say that over the years improvements have been made.
